Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 - lacquer issue

(1/4) > >>

Hello!

First of all, not sure this should be in the review section...

I have bought Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 8x17 ET 45 central bore 57.1 rims a year and a bit ago.
I am very pleased of how much they weigh and peaty pleased of how they look.
But, I have a big problem with the paint job/lacquer.
The rims only had (and still have) one set of tires fitted and the damage you will see below is not from tire fitting or any human error (I checked each rim after the tire fitting and there were no marks). The lacquer is just falling apart.
So, after the first track day I washed the wheels and tires and I found out that a large part of lacquer on the inside of the rim was missing. I never really cared very much because I thought that it was not noticeable:





But, this year I saw the lacquer coming of on many places (all 4 wheels are affected):











Here you can see the lacquer being cracked and I think it is only a matter of time until the left part will also come off:



And here are pieces of lacquer standing out... I think the inside and margin of the rim have lost the lacquer and you can see it here:





Has anyone experienced this with Team Dynamics? Is this normal quality finish for Team Dynamics?
I have had a set of BBS VZ 032 rims for more than 4 yeas, I had about 5 sets of tires fitted to them, I used them for many many miles (unlike the TD's) and there are no lacquer problems.
I was thinking of buying some other Team Dynamics for my other car but I'm afraid that's not going to happen.

My friend also had problems with the quality of his 1.2s. Contact TD and get them to sort.

Pikey Motorsports:
never had no probs with the finish on my pro race wheels..

I never did either, but we're not all as lucky it seems  :scared:

I'm sure I remember something about the paint finish on TD's pro race not being warrantied as they are primarily a competition wheel, I had some black ones once that the lacquer peeled on, currently have some grey VWR one's which seem a bit better but aren't perfect
